CANTON -- St. Lawrence University will host Adrian Owen, the Canada Excellence Research chair in cognitive neuroscience and imaging at the University of Western Ontario, who will give the Church Lecture in Neuroscience at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 5.
He will speak in the Hepburn Hall auditorium.
Owen’s research combines structural and functional neuroimaging with neuropsychological studies of brain-injured patients.
His most recent work has shown that functional neuroimaging can reveal conscious awareness in some patients who appear to be entirely vegetative and can even allow some of them to communicate their thoughts and wishes to the outside world.
These findings have been the subject of several TV and radio documentaries, and have been reported in Science (2006), The New England Journal of Medicine (2010) and The Lancet (2011).
His lecture, “The Search for Consciousness: Detecting Awareness in the Vegetative State,” will share some of these findings.
The lecture, which is made possible by the Richard D. Church Lectureship Endowment, is free and open to the public.
